My computer is becoming really hot and noisy. After turning on the computer, everything is good (no noise). Once around 15 minutes passes by or I open up a lot of programs together, my computer starts making a lot of loud noises. I opened the case of computer to find out that it had become REALLY hot and the cooler and fan became really hot as well. Fan works properly without any noise but when it becomes hot, it starts making a lot of noises. Please advise as to what is the best way to solve this problem. Thanks

Sounds like the fan is wearing out, as it heats up the fan needs to spin faster and if the bearings are wearing out it will start getting louder and it will also get hotter because the fan cannot keep up the heat being produced. You can replace the fan, most computer shops will carry replacements, also get a can of compressed air and give the inside of the computer a good cleaning. This will help keep things cooler as well. Also make sure that the air vents on the outside of the case are clear as well.
